Novato arsonist who torched hybrids caught on camera

The video, given to reporters by dealership owner Steve Song, shows a man with a flashlight pick up a rag before walking over to one of the cars and setting it ablaze. The crime happened around 11:30 p.m. Monday at 7123 Redwood Dr., police said.

“You can see him put something underneath the vehicle,” Song told KPIX-TV. “You can see a big flame underneath the vehicle, then you can see the car catching on fire.”

No one was hurt in the incident and the firebug, who reportedly fled on a bike, has not been caught.
